“Of course I am writing a play; I am always writing a play,” said Mr. George Bernard Shaw when he was asked if he had done any work at sea upon the “round-the-world” play that was expected to come out of his last year’s cruise in the Empress of Britain. “If I had had uo writing to do at sea I should have gone over the side,” he went on, in mock indignation. “I am a playwright.
